Lyrics

When We Were Lovers

[Verse 1]

I remember dancing in the pouring rain

Calling you up just to say your name

We felt like lovers, we felt like lovers

Reaching for your hand when you pull away

Every time I'd leave, you'd beg me to stay

We felt like lovers, living life under covers

[Pre-Chorus]

We'd sail through love and war

We'd fight for everything and more

To save the night, the night was all we saw

That's what the darkness is for

[Chorus]

Look at the time and the time that it's taken

Is this a love like the love we were making

When we were lovers, when we were lovers

When we were lovers, when we were lovers

[Verse 2]

Two hearts beating in stereo

We never needed maps to tell us where to go

We followed the stars, but they took us too far

[Pre-Chorus]

We'd sail through love and war

We'd fight for everything and more

To save the night, the night was all we saw

That's what the darkness is for

[Chorus]

Look at the time and the time that it's taken

Is this a love like the love we were making

When we were lovers, when we were lovers

When we were lovers, when we were lovers

Giving it all was everything we were giving

Living for each other was why we were living

When we were lovers, when we were lovers

Living life under covers

Here we are slowly falling apart

Every broken promise is a broken heart

[Chorus]

Look at the time and the time that it's taken

Is this a love like the love we were making

When we were lovers, when we were lovers

When we were lovers, when we were lovers

[Bridge]

Giving it all was everything we were giving

Living for each other was why we were living

When we were lovers, when we were lovers

Living life under covers

It felt like love, love, felt like love, love

Oooh oooh, yes

Oooh oooh, yeah
